how long does battery work, how much recharging equipment is required/available(solar, hand etc..)
how long in receive mode, and how long turned off?
Are there any, with long standby times, to toss in back pack, turn on days/ weeks later, and use?
or is it just a "good roc" after 12 hours? ha
thanks!

Dont be taken in by the hype! This is an overpriced featureless phone. I have been through 3 in a matter of months. Unit 1: Faulty out of box, would not make calls. Unit 2: Keypad failed within 10 days subject to no abnormal wear. Unit 3: Screen cracked now illegible after 1 1/2 months use, fell from hand at thigh height to floor. What a waste of time does not even have any way of connecting to PC to back up numbers etc.
